1. NordVPN

NordVPN’s servers operate under the jurisdiction of Panama, meaning internet providers are not obliged to track internet activity and keep any data.

NordVPN also offers an automatic 'kill switch' to protect sensitive information and servers in 49 different countries worldwide.

8. CyberGhost

Used by over 3.5 million people, CyberGhost offers a high level of encryption, regular software updates and responsive customer support. Not to mention its auto-protect feature, providing instant protection when a new Wi-Fi or internet connection is established.

With over 600 servers, this VPN can connect with over 30 countries from both iPhone and Android devices.

9. Vyprvpn

Vyprvpn ensures security for home networks with its firewall capabilities which can help protect user’s router or mobile devices from being prone to attacks. This VPN has four levels of encryption including OpenVPN, Chameleon, L2TP and PPTP.

The Chameleon level has 256-bit protocol which ensures metadata is not recognised while also preventing and blocking DPIs and VPNs. This can ensure users can privately browse without third parties tracking internet activity.

10. AirVPN

Like other VPNs listed AirVPN hides your online location and promises not to track your internet activity and uses an OpenVPN protocol. According to their website is OpenVPN is 'operated by activists and hacktivists in defence of net neutrality, privacy and against censorship.' While this may be too stripped back for some CIOs, the custom nature of this VPN means more control.

11. Avira

Avira VPN is available for Windows, Android and Mac devices and can hide IP address and safeguard private data on all networks.

Avira ensures security for home offices with its private browsing feature which can prevent third-parties from advertising malicious content and viewing your location. What’s more, it allows you to safely connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots preventing loss of information, password theft and cyber threats.

13. Tiger VPN

Tiger VPN offers users a NAT Firewall while connecting to servers which can detect viruses and malware. This VPN has user encryption which doesn’t log any online activity or track user IP addresses which can be great for preventing viruses, identity fraud and password theft.

Tiger VPN can connect with over 300 servers with no bandwidth limitation for its users. What’s more, it offers responsive customer support and regular software updates.
